Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, these small-scale hand-woven textiles often depicted allegorical, biblical, or pastoral scenes set within intricate botanical and grotesque borders.

These textiles were hand-woven on looms using spun wool yarn for structural strength and rich dyed colours, frequently combined with silk threads to highlight detailed features and highlights.

Genuine period tapestries display hand-spun yarn variations, historical vegetable dye oxidisation, characteristic hand-stitching along section joins, and uneven structural wear along the selvage edges.

Mount the textile within a conservation-grade box frame or suspend it from a understated rod to create a focal point against a neutral or dark backdrop in living rooms, hallways, or studies.

Keep the tapestry away from direct sunlight and high humidity, avoid direct vacuuming against the delicate fibers, and consult a professional conservator for dust removal or mounting repairs.
